Actually, you've put your finger on a reason why consistency and accuracy in scripture is even more astounding (and why the challenge to you to find an irrefutable error should have been even easier - if one is to be found)- it is a compilation of books by numerous authors most of whom didn't know each other and written over hundreds of years..... and what I'm telling you is that there are still no errors or contradictions to be found. As for your statement that 'most cannot be verified', that is a meaningless statement since there are so many that DO lend themselves to verification - and it was specifically stated that all you need to do is deal with those. We already know that there are lots of passages that can't be verified - that was the point that was being made. And what is this nonsense about 'using a bizarre twisting of interpretation in an attempt to explain away rather apparent contradictions'? You probably have a favorite example of this, no?
So I guess the bottom line is that you aren't up for the challenge presented to you?

What, the "consistency and accuracy" that you've asserted without demonstrating?

And that couldn't possibly have anything to do with those who compiled the books either editing or omitting any glaring, obvious errors. No, it must all have been correct and infallable from the beginning.

Like how Jehoiachin was eight years old at the start of his reign? Or was that eighteen...hard to keep track when the Bible has two different ages.
